January 13, 2012

TGIF. I guess winter finally found us! I think the class is happy about winter finally arriving, even if we are not quite as enthusiastic about it. 
We enjoyed the dodgeball tournament this afternoon, and I think we all enjoyed the games, even though none of our fourth grade teams survived. They all played a good game.
Important upcoming dates:
Thursday, Jan. 19,  is our Social Studies test over chapter 6. We will highlight the study guide on Tuesday. I told them Wednesday, but since we do not have school on Monday I am making it Thursday. Friday they will have a Science test, and we will go over that on Tuesday as well. Tuesday, January 24, we will have a math test over chapter 7. 
Enjoy your 3 day weekend.

Meet Your Teacher:

Welcome to 4th grade. I am Mrs. Susan Smith. This will be my 22nd year teaching at Lourdes Catholic School! I can hardly believe it. I taught 5th grade, 1st grade, and now, this is my fifth year in 4th grade. I love teaching and every year brings new and exciting challenges.I am a graduate of Drake University with a degree in elementary education and a minor in social studies. I believe that every student is special and brings their own uniqueness to our classroom. I look forward to a great year.
